## About "spread" in BIP39

- "spread" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"spre"**, already identify it, because **"spr"** also begins [spray](/bip39-word/spray/) and [spring](/bip39-word/spring/).
- **"spre"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins sprecare in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
